The date of this photo is unknown but may be 1910-1914. This is currently the only known photo of the side of the original boathouse. Contrary to the impression given by photos of the boathouse front, it shows that the original boathouse was not all wooden. The brickwork and handrail on the steps up to the boatman's flat are exactly the same as in the present boathouse, as is the brick shed just below and to the right of the boatman's front door – rather implying that these parts were incorporated into the present boathouse and that the original boathouse wasn't completely demolished when it was rebuilt in 1924.
